Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Cape Cod Sea Captains by Ralph Cahoon was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2008. The auction ended at the price of USD 30,000.00 (€ 21,305.31), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ralph Cahoon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Luck of the Sailfish Club, which sold at auction in January 2007 for USD 96,000.00 (€ 73,857.52).
